Danny Phantom: Next Generation

Chapter 3: Rosie's Heart Condition

*Anything italicized is someone's thought bubble or someone is singing

Out with Jason, who was dressed as the masked man that Rosie just saw, was in an alley way, hiding from someone. "Well, did you kill her?" A voice said from behind him. Jason went back to his human form and turned around. "No, I didn't. Would you please let me kill her when I want to not when I have to? I can't…" Jason began. "Listen, son…she's the weakness to Danny Phantom. The minute she's gone, the minute we can destroy Danny Phantom once and for all." Vlad said. Jason sighed. He knew he had to listen to him, or else Emma would get hurt. "Yes…father." He said as he turned back into the masked man from before and flew off to find Rosie.

Emma is Tucker's biological child. Jason is not. Jason was adopted. So, Jason's white, not black like Emma. I hope that answers any questions you guys were starting to have.

Vlad laughed evilly and disappeared into the darkness. But what he didn't know was that Boxer was right there, and heard everything that was going to happen. "Rosie's in trouble! I have to warn Danny!" Boxer yelled as he flew in the direction of Danny's house.

Rosie was her normal self and was at Nasty-burger; that was turned into a McDonalds, with Emma. She was ready to perform. "I'm so glad that you decided to sing, Rosie!" Emma said, smiling really big. Rosie smiled back at her friend. She actually wanted to perform to be honest. She loved singing and even though Rosie Phantom became famous when she was 9, she didn't care if there were similarities with her voice and Rosie Phantom's.

"All right, everybody! Now, do I have a treat for you! The world's best singing ghost fighter is here to sing for you today!" The manager of the restaurant said when she reached the microphone. Rosie looked at Emma shocked. "Rosie Phantom's performing…not Rosie Fenton…?" She asked Emma. Emma nodded her head with a smile. "I know you don't want to sing as yourself, Rosie. So, I told the manager that if I got Rosie Phantom to perform today, then she has to let her brother date me." Emma giggled. Rosie laughed as well. She ran into the bathroom, snapped her fingers, and became Rosie Phantom.

"So, without further a-do, please welcome…Rosie Phantom!" The manager announced as she waited for Rosie to come on stage. She never did. "Rosie…?" The manager asked. Emma looked scared. Rosie, come on now… She thought. The manager looked at Emma and walked off the stage towards her.

(SONG: "Run this Town"—Lucy Hale)

Just then, Rosie became visible on stage as the music began to play.

Hold on cuz I'm letting go,

I'm gonna lasso your heart like a rodeo,

I'm gonna give you some till you want some more,

Cuz all I see is an opened door…

And I see where it's leading me,

All of this energy,

Been bottled up way to long,

It's powerful, powerful,

You see where I'm getting at,

I'm ready for all of that,

If I'm not a star, you're blind.

I've got rings on my fingers,

And glitter in my hair,

I bought a one way ticket,

And I just got here,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town…

I've got high-heel stilettos,

And I'm kicking in doors,

And kissing your feet,

Not what my lipsticks for,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town…

Tonight, nothing's standing in my way,

There's no obstacles; anymore,

In a minute, I'll be on my way,

To the moment, I've been waiting for!

I've got rings on my fingers,

And glitter in my hair,

I bought a one way ticket,

And I just got here,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town TONIGHT!

I've got rings on my fingers,

And glitter in my hair,

I bought a one way ticket,

And I just got here,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town…

I've got high-heel stilettos,

And I'm kicking in doors,

And kissing your feet,

Not what my lipsticks for,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town,

I'm gonna run this town, run this town, tonight.

(End of song)

The minute the song was over, everyone went berserk. Rosie smiled and waved to the crowd. But she also looked around for a little bit. She was hoping to see if Jason made it, and he never did, in her eyes. But in his, he saw an angel who could sing like no other person could sing.

Later on that night, Rosie was still morphed as Rosie Phantom. She was taking pictures with everyone who came to see her. Just then, something strange happened. "Miss Phantom…" A little girl's voice sounded through Rosie's ear. Rosie turned around and saw the little girl. She had long brown hair in the style of Ember McLain, big chocolate brown eyes, and pale but tan skin. She wore a t-shirt that had a cartoon version of her and father in their ghost forms and blue jeans with pink sneakers. She wore a smile too and was holding a small notebook. Rosie smiled. Something about this girl is making my ghost sense want to go hay-wire. She thought.

Rosie bent down to the little girl's level. "Why, hello sweetie. What's your name?" Rosie asked after examining the girl. Luckily her ghost sense didn't spill out of her mouth like it normally did when a ghost was around. "Amber…" She replied. "Well it's nice to meet you, Amber. What did you need?" Rosie asked. Amber held up the small notebook and marker. "Can I have your autograph please?" She asked, very politely for a six year old. Rosie looked stunned as she took the marker and autograph book and opened to a clean page. She noticed that she had Danny Phantom's autograph too. So, Rosie put hers on the next page after her father's.

Rosie handed it back to the little girl and said, "There you go, sweetheart." Amber smiled excitedly and hugged Rosie. Rosie hugged her right back. "Thank you" Amber whispered in Rosie's ear. Then, she let go and ran off to her mother and walked home. Rosie stood up from the floor and just watched the little girl leave with her mom. Why does my ghost sense tell me to protect that kid? It's not like she's going to die anytime soon, is she? She thought.

As Rosie was alone as her human self walking to get her mind off things, she spotted a purple guitar with blue flames all over it in a window that sold Rosie's favorite instruments.

Rosie looked at the guitar for a long while. "Too bad I don't have enough money to buy the thing." She said to herself. Just then, she heard music coming out of nowhere. That's when her ghost sense came out of her mouth, but as the color of crimson red. "What in the world…?" She began and looked around for the ghost in the area. Nothing came out, except Rosie falling to the ground, holding her chest where her heart was. "AH!" She screamed. "What-what's going on!?" She yelled at the top of her lungs. She yelled so loud, that Danny heard it and flew out of the house to find his daughter.

Rosie blacked out for a moment, and when she woke up, she was in the hospital. Danny and Sam were sitting at the window, just holding each other close. Rosie groaned as she woke up from her unconscious sleep and Danny fell off the window seat practically and ran over to her. "Rosie, thank God you're okay!" He said, so distraught it wasn't even funny. Sam raced over to her bed side too and saw that her little girl was awake. "Mom; dad…?" Rosie said, sounding completely groggy. "Yeah, sweetheart, it's us; how you feeling?" Sam asked, hoping she'd say she was fine…which she did.

Jason and Emma ran in. "Hey sorry we're late." Emma said. "Hey Rosie…are you okay?" Jason asked as he looked at her. Rosie had blushed a light shade of pink. She didn't suspect Jason to care that much to come see her in the hospital. That was a green flag to her saying 'I like you too, Rosaleatta'. "So, why am I here, dad?" Rosie asked her dad as she looked away from Jason to Danny. Danny sighed and looked at Sam. He knew they had to tell her about her heart problem. "Rosie, sweetheart…we've kept this from you long enough. Because your father's a half-ghost, half-human, you…you have a heart problem that no doctor knows what it is." Sam explained. Jason looked shocked, so did Emma and Rosie.

"What do you mean?" Rosie asked, confused. "It means…it means you can't go too far in a battle or else…" Danny began but stopped at the thought of losing his only daughter. "Or else what…I'm dead?" Rosie asked. Sam and Danny shook their heads yes and Rosie was in scared mode. She never knew that about herself before. She could die if she got too into a fight. I can't believe it…if she dies, I'll die with her. Jason thought.

But then, that sensation of being scared became frightened when Jason, Rosie, and Danny all got their ghost sense going off. Damn it! I need to find a way to control my ghost sense. If I have it go off one more time in front of Rosie and Danny, then they'll know that I'm a half-a too. Jason thought.

Rosie sat up and looked around. "Where's the ghost?" She asked. Danny and Jason looked too. "Ember, you will remember! Ember, my favorite name…Ember, so warm and tender, you will remember my name!" They all heard.

Danny and Sam both gasped when they heard the voice singing the song. They both looked at each other with scared looks on their faces and said in unison, "Ember…"
